Hirogen
Hello all. Just thought I'd show some piccys I posted on FF to show what I have been up to this week. Laying in bed with tonsilitus was no fun, and I got bored. Hence models were built:D

I haven't decided what format this will be released in yet. Not sure if it will just be a pack of models, or a complete full race.

Starbase

Outpost

Shipyard

Alternative yard

Large Relay Station

Light Destroyer

Hunter

Some variants

Frigate (untextured)

That's as far as I got this week. Hopefully there will be more to come soon.
And thanks to Majestic for getting me out of a little fix earlier in the week;)

Are you planning on doing the Holograms ship seen in season 7?

Also there are two versions of the Hunter Cruiser if I recall one about the size of Voyager (perhaps slightly smaller) that has a crew of usually 2 and a larger version that has several dozen hunters onboard and is somewhat larger than Voyager as seen in the Hologram season 7 episodes.

Are you planning on doing both versions or just the one?

Thanks, although it's not a fleet yet. Hopefully soon though:lol:

Well the untextured frigate shown above, is listed on all the Trek sites as the holoship. I'm assuming this is the one you mean. It's the only proper canon ship except for the hunter, so I will definately be using it. In fact I plan on doing a couple of versions. A standard frigate, and the Holoship version with a different texture. Also I will be using it's 'style' to kitbash/create most of the other ships too.

Yeah the larger version was basically stated to be a battleship. I have a few pics of it, and its basically a kitbashed hunter ship stretched out and extra nacelles added. It actually looks pretty ugly, but I will be building it as its canon. I doubt if i'll use it as my main battleship though;)

Alternative hunter (maybe an armour upgrade or hero unit), and a Marauder


Light Cruiser, Frigate, and Heavy Cruiser


Battleship and carrier


And some group shots

I see you have applied your usual high quality of craftsmanship to yet another Delta Quadrant race. Looking forward to trying these out.

I think there was a more recent update on this posted on the FF forums wasn't there? I remember seeing one with all the stations and GUI done for them.

I think this is just an awesome looking ship pack, not a race addon.

No I'm sure it's a full race, look back in this thread, and at the one on FF and you'll see the stations and GUI and everything. That's one of the reasons this mod is gonna be so awesome :lol:

Plus see this post:

You don't write an AI for a ship pack lol ;)

Yep, its a full race. AI finished. Read-me finished. Just need to do a quick bit of testing to make sure I've got everything together.
